"The house of Lippincott started the 'true portrait' order of biography, in contradistinction to the garbled eulogy style of herochronicling, with Paul Leicester Ford's 'True George Washington.' The next season Mr. Sydney George Fisher, favorably known as a writer on colonial history and on the making of Pennsylvania, was brought forward as the biographer of 'The True Benjamin Franklin.' This was a year ago, and now comes 'The True William Penn' from the same source, and certainly Mr. Fisher was well equipped for this task. William Penn's life is a firstrate romance from beginning to end."-The Interior, Chicago.
